Somebody once told me that violence never solved anything. I'm starting to disagree..
A friend of mine's sister came here from Belgium for a visit with her family and friends. She was born here, but moved many years ago. One of the things that struck me was something she said while we were grazing the issue of politics during the conversation. She said that people in Belgium can't understand why we don't revolt. Her question... "What's it going to take before the people of this country wake up and start a revolution?" It is a question I've been asking myself... a lot lately.
Every day we are being undermined by our own government. Our "Democracy", of which we have been so proud, is an idyllic memory that we just can't seem to let go of. The truth is, it's dead. It was replaced while we were resting on our laurels, with an evil empire of Fascism. It didn't happen overnight, but it happened never the less. Slowly the power of corporations became the voice of our representatives, and the voice of the people was stifled until it was listened to no more.
So what will it take to awaken the sedentary populace? We know they're armed. We know they're out there. What will be the straw that breaks the Camel's back? Where's the dedicated extremists that we used to be in the sixties. Have we all grown too old and too comfortable? They're coming after us in our old age, now. They killed the dream then, and they're trying to kill it now.
......WE HAVE TO STOP THEM!......
